Welcome
Welcome to my website. I have been a fiber artist/creator for many years. One of my talents is painting Watercolors on fabrics. Painting on fabric has been one of my passions for the last 25 years! I developed a way to make them permanent on fabric so that they can be washed. Unlike other art quilts my quilts are mostly painted on a single piece of fabric. My technique allows me to paint on fabric just like you would on paper. This is not a dying process but a draw-and-paint technique. Then they are embellished with quilting and such. Since developing this technique I have traveled from Seattle to Texas teaching many students how to paint on fabric. Many of my students are new artists and I help them find their inspiration to create and then use this watercolor process.
My other passion is developing and creating new designs for my future art projects. It can be anything from buttons to bags to traditional quilting. The thrill of the process enriches me most days. These new creations can be found on my Etsy site “Its at the Emporium”. Check it out for where my artist’s heart is at the moment.
I feel truly blessed to have discovered this outlet for my artistic talent. I hope that by creating this website I will be able to share my passion and inspire others. Visit my blog (Karen’s Corner) to see my current projects or read helpful posts from other artists. I regularly post about new projects, and how to do the project yourself. Also, there are lots of pictures you can use in your own art creation.
This website is all about inspiring you to discover your creative talent. Enjoy
